Yeah, but you know as I do that if he runs, he’s going to win. Just like Ah-Nuld! Question is, is he trash or an asset?

Well I guess you held that opinion with Reagan also? Though I am first to admit he may have been the rare exception.

Your opinion on NO Celebrities in political office. Ever. Did that include Ronald Reagan? Just curious.

Well, that would have excluded Reagan. But I understand where you are coming from.

Personally, I think we should have strict term limits, and that every candidate for political office should be required to sit in a room and be given a grand total of five hours to write an essay about what they believe and what they will do if they are elected. This should be monitored more strictly than the SAT (or any other standardized test) such that there is no chance for them to get outside assistance.

The essay of each candidate should then be posted publicly, and be available online, and the essays should be used as a basis to ask questions of the candidates in public forums. If elected, any candidate whose policy pursuits stray from what they wrote should automatically come up for a recall vote.

After Arnold S. I believe we need policians to run things—people who know what they are doing. Would you hire an actor to fix your plumming? I don’t know if Seagal is a Republican or a Democrat—all I know he’s out of work and has made some bad movies of late. I know he’s a Bhudist or something. I think this is a stunt—like Trump—to get interest and maybe a job in a movie.

I agree....however, there really isn’t much difference between the slime in Hollywood and that of Politicians. ‘Actors’ who go to Hollywood become as drug infested and corrupt as Politicians do when they go to Washington. They all seem to be cut from the same mold and quickly succumb to their environment....and always the ‘show’ must go on.

It has been working so well with almost all lawyers, so why mess it up right?

How about Sarah Palin? She’s a celebrity.
